Giant Crusher Repair

This huge crusher looks more like a mechanical Tyrannosaurus jaw than a piece of demolition equipment. The crusher was in use in the demolition of the Big Four Building Calgary Stampede Park, making space for the new $500-million expansion of the BMO Convention Centre.

In the process the big mouth piece chipped a tooth. The welding shop Calgary painlessly welded a couple of new ones in place and sent it back to work.

Great Big Bumper

Most service vehicles come with a factory bumper. But not all bumper are built the same. Sometimes a factory truck is put to a different use than just hauling 2X4’s or an old couch to the dump.
.
Factory bumpers are are made to protect all the crucial parts of the vehicle that are essential for getting it down the road. Engine, cooling system, steering mechanisms, fuel lines, safety equipment and much more are things that a good bumper will help to protect.
Some trucks start out one way and then are modified for a different purpose. For example, if your F-150 is going to be use for some light towing or to manage breakdowns of lesser vehicles, it might be prudent to have a heavy duty bumper if you ever have to push another car or truck to bump start or possibly push them off a busy street or highway.
.
The Welding Shop Calgary has the perfect solution to modify your bumper and can retro fit any vehicle.

How Big is Your Tool Box Part Two?

Last week we were working on these huge tool boxes specifically designed for Tower Cranes and large Gantry Cranes like those found at a port facility.

The Welding Shop Calgary created these huge tool boxes to spec explicitly for high rise cranes to facilitate equipment, emergency gear, spare parts and every thing else needed to spend sustained time at the top of a 40 story construction project or coincidentally, on site at an industrial harbour at which crane heights are basically the same. The height of a 40 story building.

Check out the before and after pics.

How Big is Your Tool Box?

Cranes can be found on most large construction sites, high rise building construction and in every port of entry in the world.

Cranes are tasked with doing one thing, lifting heavy objects. A job which is fairly solitary and sometimes pretty dangerous. To that note, every crane must have a toolbox that complies with and contains the safety equipment and measures to with stand its working conditions while providing enough space for the larger components that could be needed in case of an emergency or a breakdown.

Dickson Dam Upgrade

When your talking about an upgrade to something it doesn’t get any bigger than a dam.

Dickson Dam is a flow regulation dam constructed in 1983 which impounded the Red Deer River creating a reservoir known as Gleniffer Lake (Alberta). The dam is located 20 km (12 mi) west of the town of Innisfail and 50 km (31 mi) southwest of the city of Red Deer. The dam was created to control floods and low winter flows, to improve quality of the river, to create a recreational resource and to provide a reliable, year-round water supply sufficient for future industrial, regional and municipal growth.

The Welding Shop Calgary was tasked with retro fitting the huge dam doors that control the flow of water at the dam.

Welding Can Be Dam Hard

These huge doors are part of an industrial dam system that holds back millions of gallons of water.

Like most things mechanical and made of steel, not to mention that the structure is mostly under water, there is wear and tear.

The Welding Shop Calgary is retro fitting this door so it can serve many more years keeping water levels at bay.

Assisted Living Stair Well

Residential homes, especially those in most subdivisions, have standard stair wells and the stair defined as the riser and the step or tread. This is for ease of installation and for pre-fabrication.

Most industrial or community spaces have specific dimension for their stair and stairwells determined by the use and traffic. For example a hospital or office may have a wide stair well and a heavier steel fabricated stair for ease of traffic and the wear and tear of heavy equipment.

These heavy steel stair wells will be installed in a local retirement home where the need for room to maneuver equipment and personnel is a must.

These stairs are fabricated to exact specifications so they fit perfectly and will last for many years.

The Welding Shop Calgary is expert at taking your project from blueprint to completion.
